What metals are adsorbed by APTsorb?
APTsorb is the most effective on metals with a +2 valence in solution. The highest selectivity is for heavy metals including copper, nickel, lead, cobalt, cadmium, chromium(+3), and to a lesser extent zinc and mercury. Many metals remain untested. Interference from aluminum, iron, calcium, and magnesium is small, even when they are in higher concentrations. APTsorb can properly be called a natural chelating ion exchange media because of it’s rejection of these metals and higher affinity for the heavy metals mentioned above.
